GNYPIG meetups are casual get-togethers – bring your favorite pens and inks, a some paper, and get ready to nerd out. Whether you’re a gel pen or rollerball aficionado, you’ve just bought your first fountain pen, or you’ve been collecting fine writing instruments for years, you’ll feel welcome in this group!

August’s meetup will be held in Buffalo, and once again hosted by the gracious (and friendly!) people at Hyatt’s All Things Creative. The August meetup will also feature a visit from Greg Hengesbaugh, the US representative for Caran d’Ache! Greg has worked in fine writing for over 30 years – so in addition to sharing some of Caran d’Ache’s lineup with us, he’ll be able to answer questions and provide a lot of industry knowledge and perspective. Bring your questions!

By popular demand, in 2018, regular GNYPIG meetups are planned for the 3rd Saturday of each month. Locations rotate from city to city each month, so as many members as possible have a chance to join in.
